Hmm I hope it's not too easy because I didn't find 1.0 ish horizon particularly hard, it's more just a change in the style of what you're doing, it turns it into more resource management where you try to avoid getting shot or spending bullets unhelpfully and I liked that.

It's not too easy. But it's not this unapproachable wall. It reminds me a lot of the difficulty curve of Fallout 2. EDIT: For those concerned about carryweight, the "Strict Carryweight" option in the mod installer does the following: quote:This addon makes carry weight stricter. So, yeah, if you want that extra punishment, it's there for you. Catalyst-proof fucked around with this message at 03:36 on Dec 9, 2017 |

There are also plenty of ways to customize the difficulty. Not taking perks like Hunter or Technologist will substantially slow your progress in their associated fields, putting more strain on your other income sources. And of course there are always good ol' challenge runs. Pick any of a dozen mechanics to ignore (settlements, doctors, vendors, looting, scrapping, crafting, stealing, sneaking, cooking) and you'll be pissing blood all the way to level 15. source: my piss is currently 97% blood and 3% radiation

I'm thinking of getting back into the game because ofthis Architect mod, but I have a couple questions. Do Horizon and the Loot Overhaul play nice together? Are there any weapon mods that add in any sort of non-OP additional weapons for more variety that don't break the game, unlike Modern Firearms? Is the mod list in the OP of the thread in any way updated?

Rodriguez posted:Are there any weapon mods that add in any sort of non-OP additional weapons for more variety that don't break the game, unlike Modern Firearms? If you're gonna be using Horizon any weapon that hasn't been specifically patched for it is going to be OP. Luckily there are a few of those patches, including the Official Weapon Pack and a patch for Unique Uniques. There are a couple more scattered ones, check Horizon's front page under "Requirement->Mods requiring this file" and/or search the Nexus.

Thanks. Are things like the Raider Overhaul and Alt Start mods still en vogue, or does Horizon cover just about everything?

The Horizon page recommends not to use Raider Overhaul because the new raiders will be excessively bullet-spongey for Horizon combat.

I use Another Life and Horizon with no issues, but I've only tested it with Vault Dweller (in order to skip the intro). Other starts change faction affinity in different ways, but I don't know if any of that interacts with Horizon.

B.B. Rodriguez posted:Thanks. One of the few things Horizon doesn't have is alt start functionality. I us Start Me Up with success. I have had some trouble getting back into the vault after starting outside, but I dunno if that's Horizon or something else. Just don't pick traits! That causes a CTD. Also starting at higher levels doesn't work properly; it seems to give the experience rather than set your level directly, so telling it start you at 10 will actully only get you most of the way to 5 because of the experience changes. The starting weapons can be a bit wonky, too. Oh and I wouldn't recommend a non-Vault start for your first try. There are a bunch of starting items in Vault 111 and the Sanctuary root cellar that you really want to make the beginning less painful.

Is there a mod that handles permanent companion death in a sane way? e.g. doesn't break the story, and they're either severely buffed for balance or level along with you?

These are the ones I swear by. - Scrap Everything - Build High: Expanded Settlements (not just for building upwards, but for increasing settlement perimeters) - Brighter Settlement Lights - Longer Power Lines - Move That Workbench - Quieter Settlements - Dialogue Settlers Fix - Settlement Keywords Expanded - Stackable Concrete Foundations - Workshop Rearranged (adds countless stairs, ramps, half walls, half floors, and all kinds of concrete blocks, as well as countless other things, while still being "lore-friendly" and not overwhelming. I can't recommend this one enough; once you realize the flexibility it enables you'll never uninstall it.) Also keep in mind that Sim Settlements can fit nicely alongside your own creations: build a bad-rear end castle for yourself and put the small residential settlements outside of it. If you want to start getting a little crazy, or build insane poo poo, then you can add these to taste. I don't have anything bad to say about these, but I use them sparingly. - Auto Doors - Craftable Institute Elevators (includes elevators that can go up six stories) - Do It Yourshelf - Vault Tec Workshop Overhaul - Nuka-Cola and Vim Display Racks A lot of people swear by Homemaker, but I found a lot of its pieces have snapping issues. It gives you a ton of new set pieces to work with, which can turn out very nicely, or ...  Catalyst-proof fucked around with this message at 00:16 on Dec 10, 2017 |

The Lone Badger posted:How well do settlement object mods (like Homemaker) work with the new Horizon? Homemaker specifically has a Horizon patch so its beds, crafting stations etc. use the correct perks and materials. Other, non-patched settlement mods shouldn't break anything, but their costs and requirements might be out of line.

Alternatively: Make a copy of FO4's install folder. Uninstall the game via steam. Then in the copy of the game folder you made next to the game's executable, create a text file called "steam_appid.txt", containing the number "377160". Either way should make it so you don't have to worry about patches breaking your mod setup.

I've never actually used F4SE because I don't think I've ever used any mods that require it. I'll stick an executable shortcut somewhere and move it out of favorites. The Lone Badger posted:I haven't been able to find the patch. I believe it's an option when you install horizon via a mod manager.

If you haven't already chosen at least the second option, it's too late.

Do the settlement build area expanders also break the precombination thing that kills your framerate or is that just scrap everything?

OwlFancier posted:Fair enough. I've never tried any settlement expansion mods, so I'm not sure which, if any, work well. Ideally a settlement expansion mod should just disable the precombined objects/previs in the cells that include actual build areas, but knowing the Nexus most of them will just disable it globally.

OwlFancier posted:Fair enough. This is a really complicated topic. At the moment I'm still using Scrap Everything and Build High with expanded borders, and that seems to do the job without any performance issues, for most of the settlements. Some settlements have weirdly custom parts that aren't subject to precombination, such as Jamaica Plain's church pews and the bus right next to the workshop. Hangman's Alley is also a pain, since its entire riverside area is mostly unscrappable, even though you'd think it should be (tire piles, trucks, desks and chairs). My setup is fairly stable, but if you're interested in trying something different and reporting back, All Settlements Extended looks promising.

I've got Scrap Everything & All Settlements Extended installed, haven't noticed any slowdown yet. Scrapped practically everything in & around Hangman's alley, made a nice waterfront development with Sim Settlements. ASE really makes some of the settlements alot bigger. Hangman's alley should be renamed to Back Bay Estates.

I currently use both scrap everything and all settlements extended and I admit I haven't had any obvious immediate performance degradation? It also comes with a version that disables the changes to hangman's and bunker hill owing to, i assume, density. It's possible I've only ever used mods that handle it decently and the slowdown is more severe with other ones, I just don't want it to become a thing late in the game.

Does anyone know how exactly the income from buildable settlement stores is supposed to work? I'm trying to figure out but it's extremely inconsistent. Sometimes just Waiting works, sometimes it doesn't. (I'm playing Horizon but afaik that just replaces the caps with another item called Vendor Credits. also my findings so far are consistent with other tests I've seen of this system)

Not everything is done yet. I'm using the original alley for farming & industrial plots, and the waterfront for housing / rec / commercial. Here are the original & new borders with ASE:  I haven't tried to build on the rooftops yet, but probably will expand there when I need more space for farms, etc.
